Buying or selling a property

Whether its your main home, second home or investment property.

How a property investment is structured can be one of the key factors in determining the return


Our team has extensive experience of working with investors from the UK and overseas to advise on how best to invest, hold and dispose of UK real estate.

We can provide specialist advice on:

 

  • structure your property investments to ensure you gain the highest return
  • decide whether the property should be personal or company owned
  • understand tax rules such as Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
  • understand the tax implications of buying or selling a second home
  • plan to limit your tax exposure
  • ensure you are making the most of any allowances and reliefs available to you
  • calculate tax costs on sale of investment, residential or commercial property
  • consider tax implications and risks if you are a non-domiciled individual.
